Sun 6 Oct: NRL Grand Final: Sydney Roosters v Canberra Raiders (Merged Threads)

[Nearenough]

Idiotic reffing

 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

That is a disgraceful refereeing decision, can't believe I just saw that and they've now handed the game to Sydney, utterly disgusting! 

[Man of Kent]

14-8 Easts after 74

[Goughy]

Absolute joke referring.  Would be laughable if it wasnt so important.

[Roy Haggerty]

Two shocking injustices for Canberra here. Denied a potential try by the Roosters’ trainer, leading to Roosters’ first try. Then denied possession by a referee balls-up leading directly to Roosters’ second try. 

Robbed. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

It’s not over yet

[jacksy]

Wow Stuart is going to kill a ref this time. Remember Ashley Klein lol

[Man of Kent]

The legend of Cooper Cronk continues.

[Man of Kent]

For all the Raiders utter dominance this half they have only scored two points. Not been good enough to make the possession pay. 

[Tommygilf]

That is appalling. Wouldn't even go up and get the losers medals. 

Bear in mind the first try was off the scrum for it hitting the roosters trainer.

[Tommygilf]

What was a great contest going to be over shadowed by the refs

They have been awful.

[Man of Kent]

14-8 Sydney Roosters FT. Absorbing contest

Were the ref's wrong in that call?

[dkw]

The ref's should apologise after that game, utterly disgusting. 

[Number 16]

Absolutely amazing game. Raiders were robbed. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

I can think of at least two laws of the game that MUST be changed after that match.

[andyscoot]

It would be too much to say the Raiders were robbed because there was plenty time left but that's one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

[DiH68]

It’s very sad and disappointing it had to end that way 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

A very good game overshadowed by some disgraceful decision making. Those refs should be ###### ashamed of themselves!

[Guest]

Could have been a great game but will be completely overshadowed by terrible reffing.

[doc]

Great game, shame about ref.

Spot on.

I watched hoping for a terrific contest but the major plays were decided by the officials.

Very disappointing.

[GeordieSaint]

I didn’t see the first incident. However, for the game to be decided on that call by the ref to change the wipe the tackle count clean is shocking. Truly shocking.
